White takes over the reins from re

USMCR, who leaves the campus this

Island.
Elizabeth Wiggins, junior from
Hartsville, S. C, steps into the vice

Britt, USMCR, and Bob Rogow of
Newark, N. J., succeeds Bob Rouse,

A member of Delta Kappa Epsilon,

Benno Rabinof Will Play In Memorial Hall
Monday Under Auspices of Music Fraternity
D... Tl-i o ......
Benno Rabinof, noted American vio
linist, will play here in Memorial Hall
Monday night at 8:30 o'clock. Tickets
may be obtained in Hill Music Hall for
85 cents and $1.10.
Rabinof is appeariner in Chanel Hill
m conjunction with a tour which in
eludes many USO performances. His
concert is given under the ausDices of
tne Alpha JRho Chapter, Phi Mu Al
pha Sinfonia, national honorary music
fraternity, in an effort to increase their
scholarship fund.
Critics from all corners of the na
tion have heaped him with praises, the
New York Times having said of hjm
that he had a "spectacular technique
and brilliant tone." The Cleveland
Press noted "Beauty in every phase of
his art." The Dallas Times-Herald said
of his concert there, "one of the hap
piest events of the year," pronounced
his performance "the outstanding con
cert of the season."
In his concert here, Rabinof will play
RABINOF
the Del Gesu Guarnerius Violin which
at one time belonged to Fritz Kreisler.
This famous instrument is one of three
made by Guarnerius and presented to
the world in 1742.
Museum Piece
The first of the three violins lies in
a museum m Genoa, but is seldom
used, although in perfect condition. In
1931, when Rabinof toured the con
tinent, the Italians honored him by
taking him to this museum and invit
ing him to play the precious instru
ment. The second of the sister violins was
purchased by Jascha Heifetz and is the
instrument which he uses today in
preference to all his others. The third,
which Rabinof uses, was formerly
owned by Kreisler whose recordings
were made with this instrument.
Early Training
Rabinof began to play the violin at
the age of three. His mother, who had
taken him to hear Mischa Elman at
Carnegie Hall when he was just a baby,
resolved that her son too would become
a great violinist. He did. Nineteen
years later he played the same concert
with the same orchestra in the same
place as Elman.
However, his life was not completely
lost in music which he frequently neg
lected because things came so easily
to him. He was brought up on lower
East Side Manhattan where he had
